| 1. | {For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.} The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation! | To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. | The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! | ||
| 2. | You have given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah. | The king will be glad in your strength, O Lord; how great will be his delight in your salvation! | Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah. | ||
| 3. | For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head. | You have given him his heart's desire, and have not kept back the request of his lips. (Selah.) | For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head. | ||
| 4. | He asked life of you, you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever. | For you go before him with the blessings of good things: you put a crown of fair gold on his head. | He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever. | ||
| 5. | His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him. | He made request to you for life, and you gave it to him, long life for ever and ever. | His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him. | ||
| 6. | For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence. | His glory is great in your salvation: honour and authority have you put on him. | For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance. | ||
| 7. | For the king trusts in Yahweh. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved. | For you have made him a blessing for ever: you have given him joy in the light of your face. | For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved. | ||
| 8. | Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you. | For the king has faith in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Most High he will not be moved. | Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee. | ||
| 9. | You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. Yahweh will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them. | Your hand will make a search for all your haters; your right hand will be hard on all those who are against you. | Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them. | ||
| 10. | You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from among the children of men. | You will make them like a flaming oven before you; the Lord in his wrath will put an end to them, and they will be burned up in the fire. | Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men. | ||
| 11. | For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed. | Their fruit will be cut off from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men. | For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform. | ||
| 12. | For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face. | For their thoughts were bitter against you: they had an evil design in their minds, which they were not able to put into effect. | Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them. | ||
| 13. | Be exalted, Yahweh, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power. | Their backs will be turned when you make ready the cords of your bow against their faces. | Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power. | ||
